A graphic with a dark background and a photo of Rep. Maxwell Frost . The text in white and yellow font says, "The reason the government has been shut down is because Donald Trump and congressional Republicans would rather shut down the government than ensure that working people have healthcare."

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

Charlie Sykes: Trump is, w/o proper cause, going to declare a National Emergency & invoke the Insurrection Act. Full Dictatorial Powers to order US soldiers to invade & occupy US cities...despite objections from Democrat Governors & Mayors. Gigantic provocation!

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

His attorneys say he was shackled to his bed for several days, couldn't speak privately with doctors or lawyers & was registered under a pseudonym.

He was never charged.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.
